The Angel In The Sky. Part [11] 06/25/2025 (Morning thought)

Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

All right inventions and improvements have their source in Him who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. The skillful touch of the physician's hand, his power over nerve and muscle, his knowledge of the delicate organism of the body, is the wisdom of divine power, to be used in behalf of the suffering. The skill with which the carpenter uses the hammer, the strength with which the blacksmith makes the anvil ring, comes from God.

Daniel 4:30 The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty? 31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

Thus, with the numerous examples there before us, let’s see what lessons we can learn from the story of David numbering the people have gone because, we have a funny feeling that one day soon, we in our day may soon see an angel in the sky, either literally or figuratively. Pay close attention to the lessons.

Daniel 4:32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most-High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Angel In The Sky. Part [10] 06/25/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

[R.H. May 26, 1891, par 8] The prophet did not give up in discouragement. He kept reviewing his life, to see where he had failed to honor God, he confessed his sins, and thus continued to afflict his soul before God, while watching for a token that his prayer was answered. As he searched his heart, he seemed to be less and less, both in his own estimation, and in the sight of God. It seemed to him that he was nothing, and that God was everything.

And when he reached the point of renouncing self, while he clung to the Savior as his only strength and righteousness, the answer came…. This tendency to steal God’s glory is what caused Nebuchadnezzar to eat grass for seven long years. The following excerpt is of critical importance to us, especially since we live in an age where persons are manifesting a very strong tendency to take the glory and credit of their accomplishments to themselves.

C.O.L pp 349] It was Christ who gave to the builders of the tabernacle wisdom to execute the most skillful and beautiful workmanship. He said, “See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. God desires that His workers in every line shall look to Him as the Giver of all they possess.

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
